We have ridiculous standards.

 

Peavy is coming off an one of a kind injury, where no one really knows how durable he is. He goes out and throws 5 innings and gives up 1 run.

 

You may not accept it, but its going to take Peavy more time to get back from injury.

Yes, because nothing says "suck" like 1 ER through 5IP in, what could be, the biggest game of the season for this team. I'm frustrated by Jake too but he's a competitor...it's up to his manager to reel him in and pull him out of the muck when he's reached his limit.

 

He has like a 5.50 ERA as a starter...I'd rather him be a huge douche like Rios and put up a 4.25 ERA than be a "competitor" and be awful. But yes, I agree with you that tonight is on Ozzie.

I couldn't agree more...which means you don't use him as a reliever and you skip a start or two along the way instead of pushing other guys back so he can pitch in his slot.

I'm not giving an MLB pitcher who's getting paid as well as Peavy is any credit for being a five inning starter. I'll accept that from a 22 year old rookie, or fifth starter. I will not accept it from Peavy. If this is all he's good for, he should have stayed in the minors or accepted a demotion to the pen.

 

But at this point he is a 5th starter. Just the highest paid 5th starter in baseball, or well 2nd, forgot about Zito.

YOU DONT QUESTION OZZIE/

 

Not only is he the manager, but hes a soothsaying time traveler who doesnt need to listen to Drs or professional advice.

 

Hes the manager and has won a world series, if you dont have those credentials you cant question his wisdom.

My overly pessimistic post of the week: this has all the makings of a Cabrera game winning homer in the 9th off of Sergio with 2 outs.

So we're good again now, right?

I think Jake can grind out one more inning, put him out there Ozzie!

 

He didn't do 1 ER through 5 IP. He did 4 ER through 6 IP.

 

Exactly my point...blame his f***ing manager. It's not Peavy's job to pull himself....I would be absolutely furious with any pitcher who pulled themselves if not for injury.

 

Hey Balta...do the Red Sox average like 10 runs a game now? Goodness!

We have ridiculous standards.

I don't think were mad at Peavy.

 

Were mad at Ozzie for not paying attention o anything you said.

New ballgame boys and girls.

Let's go SOX!

Someone woke up Manuel.

I like our chances against their pen, if we can get to it.

why is Ohman in to face all these righties Ozzie gonna leave him in for the wolves just like he did with PV

Thornton must be off getting his pre trade physical.

I wasnt referring to you, was referring to the post that he couldnt accept Peavy only going 5, or all the posts about Peavy being paid more and thus he should perform better.

 

Im actually surprised Peavy can pitch this well based on the injury.

because ozzie is a grade A moron

He doesn't get that excuse if he's making $16,000,000 a year.

 

And SoxBadger, in regards to our ridiculous standards, see the above figure. I expect greatness out of him because he gets paid a s***load. In these last two starts where Humber started to wear down, I didn't freak out. Because nothing was expected of him to begin this season.

 

Peavy, I hold to a higher standard.

 

This is a big three innings coming up...most drama so far this season! Lets get it done.

Anyone else just shaking their head right now?

You hold Peavy to a higher standard despite the fact his shoulder literally fell apart?

smoooothe

Ozzie is probably throwing Ohman to show KW that he really needs a rh set up man and that if only he had that rh set up the Sox would be winning.

 

Or he thinks that you want higher numbers for pitchers.

 

But watch Ohman deliver hilariously.

Beautiful play by Alexei!
